CHRISTMAS LUNCH ON JESUS
Each year Christmas Lunch on Jesus provides Christmas boxes containing turkey, vegetables, potatoes, gravy, Christmas pudding, crackers, chocolates… everything you need for a really enjoyable Christmas lunch. We distribute boxes to families and individuals on low income who otherwise would struggle to afford a Christmas meal. Each box also contains a candle, a booklet about the meaning of Christmas, and an invite to Christmas services in Derby.
Due to Covid and potential supply chain issues, this year we are providing vouchers for people to buy their own choice of Christmas meal.
To celebrate our link between Derby and Calcutta Cathedral and City Centre churches, we’re also partnering with friends there to provide Christmas boxes for some of the poorest people in Calcutta’s slums, containing rice, lentils, dahl, biscuits, sweets… a Christmas feast for those who live in poverty on a daily basis. We’ll also be including a celebration candle and a New Testament.
